3. Brushing low on the thighs.

One word, dope! So this is going to be a grip and shoulder burner for sure. For everyone gunning to get through the AMRAP plus, managing the grip, shoulder and heart rate will allow for a better flow through the workout.

1. I’d recommend suiting up with a lightweight lifting shoe such as the Reebok CrossFit Lifters. The heel will give you an added advantage on the rower, wall balls and cleans.

2. Keep the grip relaxed on the rower setting an even pace to get the workout started. Blowing it out hard here will not gain you much value as you advance to the toes to bar.
